Based on what you said, I‘d recommend you don’t go.
Facing your Fears and riding a roller coaster at an amusement park with a good safety record is one thing.
Being Scared and going to a place with people from all over the country during an outbreak of a new disease with no known treatment is another.
Let’s say WDW doesn’t survive economically and closes forever. You didn’t go this weekend. End of the world (not the park) for you?
One of your kids gets sick or dies after this trip - are you going to forgive yourself for making the decision that you just HAD to go now instead of 6 months, one or two years - or after treatments and vaccines exist?
...
Where I’m coming from (mindset)
I have a week scheduled at WDW two weeks from now. If there’s no big change in conditions I will be there - and again in early November (replacing a
Disney Cruise).
I spent over four years going nowhere (Other than driven to the doctor or two hospital stays) due to an auto-immune disease. Last December, I was able to resume travel and visited St Thomas, January to Orlando, Feb a Carnival Cruise, and March was Hawaii. While in Hawaii, they started their shutdown. When I left, they began quarantines for new arrivals.
I went to the grocery (at least twice weekly), Walmart and most Scheduled doctor’s visits throughout. Wearing a mask and doing the social-distancing dance in stores. You would think we were Canadians as polite as most people are when shopping.
Last month, my sister (who has only ventured out to the office very few times this summer) and I drove to Hilton Head for a week in a timeshare. Great social distancing at the beach. Timeshare elevators were one family only at a time.
I still feel fine and think I have not acquired the virus.
I live in Alabama, a state high on the list of % cases per population, but in a city with it better under control. I practice virus safety and do not participate in high-risk activities or in high-density/ long-time exposure locations.
